Hogan, Mayor Catherine Pugh, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Maggie McIntosh and others hammered out a deal under which the state will provide more than $23 million to help Baltimore’s school system close a $130 million budget gap next year and reduce the number of expected layoffs. Lawmakers also handed the mayor the power to appoint members of the city school board. Currently, the mayor and the governor share that authority.
